suggestion from magazine--

For added flair and flavor, use 6-in. or longer rosemary sprigs instead of metal or wooden skewers. Be sure to soak the sprigs in water for at least 30 minutes first.

Use a metal cookie cutter or paring knife to cut the red bell pepper into stars, circles, hearts or squares.

Dress up your serving platter with a single layer of lettuce-such as Bibb (Boston), radicchio, Belgian endive or shredded Napa cabbage (Savoy)- before placing shrimp skewers over the top. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
